I would aim for credibility, because buyers are still moving when the number makes sense.
If you are tempted to start high and see what happens, I would slow that idea down. My answer in Tuscany, AB is that sellers still have support, but the advantage comes from believable pricing in a market where recent offers were already close to asking.
Over the previous 30 days, offers in Tuscany, AB landed at 99.2% of asking, while the typical sale took 27 days and supply stood at 1.13 months. With 24 sales and 28 new listings, there was enough movement to reward a sharp opening price rather than a trial balloon.
I see this as a market where correct pricing can protect your time and leverage. When buyers are already paying near asking, there is little value in creating doubt with a number that pushes beyond what the competition can justify.
Set the asking price to attract conviction, not debate. Compare your home against current active competition before you list. Watch the first week closely and respond quickly if buyer feedback points to resistance.
